> If brain activations are insensitive to subtle adversarial attacks, we would expect people to choose each picture 50% of the time on average. However, we found that the choice rate—which we refer to as the perceptual bias—was reliably above chance for a wide variety of perturbed picture pairs

Ok, but the article doesn’t say what was the actual rate?

It does! See the effect strength plot near the bottom of the blog post, or Figures 2b and 3d in the paper.

The effect strength on humans ranges from a few percent deviation of human judgements from chance for subtle adversarial perturbations (epsilon=2), to ~15% deviations of human judgement from chance for large magnitude perturbations in the largest magnitude experimental condition.
